We are going to do a mock cycle with them. Just to check that the right dose of progesterone is being given to me to prep for implantation. I really feel it hadn't been each time in the past. Because the problem is mfi they've always just skimmed over me saying everything is fine but my test results aren't quite normal.. Nearly but not fully. So we are going to test that first.

Then when egg collection finally does happen we probably do half hubby's and half donor depending on how many eggs there are.

Dr. Harrity has given us more options than any other Clinic we've been to. And it's not all black and white with him, he kept saying we can change our minds when we see how things progress which I'm delighted with... It's definitely not a one size fits all approach.

I think it took a few weeks, maybe 3ish. I'm not too sure. But i made an appointment with the beacon on the same day and that appointment isn't till August 31st so it's definitely quicker than some of the other clinics

We had an initial consultation I repromed with Dr. Harrity today. He spoke to us for over an hour. We were happy with how it went.

He was willing to think outside the box a bit, he didn't pressure us into anything. He had clearly read our (massive) file before we got there and he'd highlighted a few things he wanted to look into again.

He did an amh test to help us decide if we should rush into another round or if we have a bit more time on our side.

Over all we were happy. We are now going to cancel the upcoming consultation with the beacon and the follow ups with sims.

We both thought this place was the right fit for us for now. It's definitely worth a visit.

I know exactly what you mean mcjac, 2 years later and i am 35 now so we dont want to waste anymore time or money, thats why we are going ds! Plus my dh cant take the guilt anymore, i see it destroy him after every failed cycle and it kills me to see him blame himself...so for the sake of our sanity and our marriage its the best decision for us!

I just emailed my appointment form today so just waiting to hear back, was told 3-4 weeks for an apt tho which is to be expected i suppose seing as its summer...i just have no patience for waiting!

I was very very disillusioned with the lack if info and knowledge in ireland when it came mfi. We ended up With Dr. Ramsey in London who did help a bit (not enough as we r now Going donor) but he definitely did know what he was talking about. We left it too late to go to him though, we just don't have the time to wait it out if we want to use my eggs now. I feel a bit resentful that none of the consultants in ireland pointed us in his direction earlier in our journey. They are all the same though, it is an unregulated, extremely profitable market and we all need to remember that. It's why I'm going in tomorrow as if I'm interviewing the clinic, and I'm gonna try to pick the one I feel has a genuine interest in us not just our money!

Best of luck with your cycle itsme, really hope you get your little miracle x

Hopeful i have to say that the clinics ive been to have no real answers when it comes to male factor infertility so ive ended up having to research things for myself! Unfortunately were still on this rollercoaster though x

We are also moving on to donor sperm! We have been with galway and gennett so far (4 fresh and 1 fet in total) with no success so we have accepted that ds is our next step! I Want to do immune tests before our next cycle and have been put off sims by reading reviews/experiences just like yours and we like the sound of a more personal clinic! I also read great reviews about Dr. Hanratty from his time at SIMS! Im going to make an appointment tomorrow with them and go from there!

We have our first appointment with them this week. We have severe mfi too. We've been with clane and sims b4 but we are looking to change again. We are meeting Dr. Hanratty on Wednesday. We are almost certain that we'll be going g donor sperm.

I feel like we are interviewing clinics at this stage!

Clane were lovely to deal with but really don't cater for mfi. Sims was like a production line. So I'm looking for a new clinic with the technology of. Sims but the caring and compassion of clane!

Hi! I don't have very useful info, but We have been with them for a few months for mfi, we haven't undergone any treatment yet but there am staff are so kind and caring. They have done their absolute best to care for us. The very best of luck
